Lewis Hamilton has unfollowed his Ferrari Formula 1 team on Instagram in a major cleanse of his social media profile.

The seven-time world champion has suffered a poor start to his time with the Scuderia, not achieving higher than a fifth-place finish across six grands prix, and sitting down in seventh in the drivers’ championship.

Ahead of the Imola Grand Prix weekend, which could be huge for Hamilton’s season, the 40-year-old has decided to block out any distractions by having a complete refresh of his Instagram account earlier on Tuesday morning.

Hamilton’s Ferrari woes

The upcoming Emilia Romagna Grand Prix takes place in Ferrari’s home country of Italy, with the Tifosi set to cheer on the most successful F1 driver in history driving for their team for the first time in an Italian race.

Villeneuve recently said that Hamilton will not be given time to improve by Ferrari, and that the fans will start to become impatient at his lack of performance compared to Leclerc.

German ex-racer Schumacher also recently said that Hamilton will end up quitting Ferrari before the end of his contract, which is due to run until the end of the 2026 season.
